Casserole Recipe with Rice and Cottage Cheese
Each of us knows that cottage cheese is not only very tasty, but also healthy. Thanks to the minerals and vitamins included in its composition, this product saturates and strengthens our body. Cottage cheese strengthens nails, teeth, hair and bones, and also plays a big role in the fight against excess weight.
So, for cooking casseroles with rice and cottage cheese in the oven, you will need the following products:
- rice - 200 grams;
- cottage cheese - 400 grams;

Such a dish can be prepared not only for adults, but also for children. Children's cottage cheese casserole with rice is incredibly tender and airy. To make the filling softer, it is recommended to beat the curd with a mixer.
Step cooking
We divide the cooking process into several stages:
- First of all, you need to boil rice. For this dish, it is best to use round. We wash the rice two, or even three times in cool water until it becomes transparent. Then pour it into boiling, slightly salted water. We wait 15-20 minutes and remove the saucepan from the heat. We give the rice time to brew for about 10-15 minutes and drain the remaining water.
- After we drained the water from the saucepan, throw the rice into a colander and rinse it under running water. Now put it on a plate and go to the cottage cheese.
- Using a sieve, grind the cottage cheese and combine it with rice.
- Mix the resulting mass.
- Add vanillin and mix the base for the future casserole again.
- In a separate bowl, beat the chicken egg, add sugar to it and beat the mixture until a uniform color and condition.
- As soon as the foam appears, pour the egg mixture into the cottage cheese and rice.
- Mix everything thoroughly and transfer to a mold. The mold must be lubricated in advance with either butter or margarine. If you have olive or edible coconut oil, then you can use it.
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and send our casserole into it for 35-45 minutes.
We check the readiness of the dish with a toothpick. If it easily passes through the cottage cheese, then the casserole is ready. Before serving, baked goods can be decorated with ground walnuts or powdered sugar. Also, if desired, you can grate hard cheese and sprinkle them with a casserole 10 minutes before cooking.
